One night stands, betrayals of body and mind, the Judas kiss of the soul, a world turned traitor — 36 tales of infidelity made all the more tragic by a touch of lightness and
a mad magic.
This is Shinie Antony’s second collection of short stories. Her first , Barefoot and Pregnant, was published in 2002.
